Another Takeover Attempt on Yahoo

TechCrunch has reported on yet another attempt on Yahoo is in the works – this time by a group of Silicon Valley executives that would be funded largely by Microsoft’s money anyhow.

Under the terms of the proposed deal, the investment group would make a takeover bid for Yahoo at a relatively low premium of around 20% to its current price of around $13 per share, valuing the company at just over $20 billion.

A complicated financial structure would be put in place to finance the deal, but the bulk of the cash for the transaction would come from Microsoft as debt.
